Thursday 6th September

Email or Facebook this message to your friends to get them to sign up online.

All schools should be funded fairly based on the unique needs of each child. But because of changes by the Liberal-National government in Canberra, public schools are missing out on billions in urgently needed funding. Fair funding would mean: smaller class sizes, more one-on-one support, and additional teachers and support staff. Take action at www.FairFundingNow.org.au
